Although many of us find fast food convenient when we are in a
rush, it is a bad idea to eat it too much or too often. Recently,
McDonald’s in Canada has had the two dollar deal: a Big Mac and
small fries. This is a very big temptation, and even my son (who
doesn’t normally eat at McDonald’s) bought this meal last week. But
what did he eat when he ate a Big Mac and fries? First, in the
hamburger he got 570 calories, with almost half of them (280
calories) coming from fat. Ten grams of this fat is saturated, the
most dangerous kind, the kind which is harmful to our heart. The
Canadian Food Guide recommends that we "choose lower-fat foods more
often." Now, remember that my son also gets a small fries!
Unfortunately, there are another 210 calories in the fries, with 10
more grams of fat (1.5 grams of it saturated). I’m sure he bought a
drink as well, which adds another 150 calories (small size). Now,
imagine he eats this dinner more than once a week! A two dollar
meal contains a lot of fat. So, although it is very convenient (and
cheap) to buy fast food, it is quite alarming to see just how much
fat we are eating—I think I’ll go and eat an apple, instead!

Mac and small fries. This is a very big temptation, and even my son
(who doesn’t normally eat at McDonald’s) bought this meal last
week. But what did he eat when he ate a Big Mac and fries? First,
in the hamburger he got 570 calories, with almost half of them (280
calories) coming from fat. Ten grams of this fat is saturated, the
most dangerous kind, the kind which is harmful to our heart. The
Canadian Food Guide recommends that we "choose lower-fat foods more
often." Now, remember that my son also gets a small fries!
Unfortunately, there are another 210 calories in the fries, with 10
more grams of fat (1.5 grams of it saturated). I’m sure he bought a
drink as well, which adds another 150 calories (small size). Now,
imagine he eats this dinner more than once a week! A two dollar
meal contains a lot of fat. So, although it is very convenient (and
cheap) to buy fast food, it is quite alarming to see just how much
fat we are eating—I think I’ll go and eat an apple, instead!
